Calliope ate so much food during lunch. She finished two bowls of rice, some sweet and sour chicken, stir-fried beef, and an omelet. By the end of it, her tummy regained its rounder shape.
"Look at you. Cried so much and ate so much."
Calix's teasing was replied with a pout from Calliope, her chubby cheeks puffing. Hot steam blew up from her ears, annoyed with the man; her papa. She tightly held a glass, some water still remaining inside.
"Poppy hungry ah!"
Ignoring Calix, Calliope continued drinking the water. The man chuckled while Leslie smiled in helplessness. She was reminded of what she had just thought before.
Calix would tease Calliope more frequently. Leslie couldn't help but wonder about the chances of her daughter teaming up with Amelia and Evelyn to get back to the man.
Well, it had to wait until Calliope met her paternal aunt and younger cousin in the future.
